Smart dispenser system with liquid container and detection unit
A dispenser system has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US11882968B2) that includes a dispenser and a replaceable liquid container. The system features a dispensing mechanism with a pump unit for discharging liquid and a manual actuating device to activate the pump unit. Additionally, a detection unit is included to detect the displacement of the pump unit, with the ability to transmit related information to an external computer unit. The pump unit is designed with a displaceable element that moves linearly during liquid discharge, interacting with a rotating gear element associated with a magnetometer sensor.
Furthermore, the patented dispenser system includes various configurations and methods for operation, such as detecting the rotational position of the gear element using a rotating magnet and a fixed Hall effect sensor, pivotally displacing an actuator within the detection unit, and allowing interaction between the displaceable element and the gear element through a linear geared section. The system also incorporates a transponder reader unit for cooperation with a transponder unit on the liquid container, providing additional functionality and versatility to the dispenser system.
